Australian Summer Of Cricket '08/'09

[Bannermania]

My team would've been..

1. Matthew Hayden
2. Simon Katich
3. Michael Clarke
4. Ricky Ponting
5. David Hussey
6. Marcus North - his spin would've provided a decent go on a Sydney pitch.
7. Brad Haddin - As much as I hate him
8. Mitchell Johnson
9. Nathan Hauritz
10. Peter Siddle
11. Ben Hilfenhaus

Unbeatable.

Australian's aren't the only ones over-reacting

And seriously, the Poms have been trying to tell us that we are the only ones who really care about our sporting rivalary anymore and they are over it - AS IF! They weren't even the ones who beat us and they are carrying on like this.

LOL

Just like the League World Cup Final.

Once again, England's greatest victory was made by another team.

Aussies will be fine I can't believe people are saying the baggy green is dead. It sucks we lost a few series and are going to struggle to win more often than not. That is life you can't stay on top forever staying on top for over 15 years is an achievement in itself..

Congratulations to Brett Lee - in 2008 he set a new record for the number of no-balls bowled in a calendar year [eusa_clap.gi [eusa_clap.gi [eusa_clap.gi

Siddle is rubbish.

Australia need to get over this obsession with having an allrounder. Unless there's one of test class quality (I believe Watson could be if given the chance), we should be playing the best 6 batsmen in the country and the best 4 bowlers, even if they're all quicks.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We need an allrounder and IMO it is good to see the Aussie selectors choosing one for each test match.

 

[The Brizz]

We don't need one if all the options suck, with Watson out all the options suck. McDonald looked hopeless with the bat doesn't know how to come forward at all.

 

[Browny]

May as well put Johnston as the allrounder and put Hilfy in the 11

 

[Bucking Beads]

Either way we need 5 top line bowling options. MacDonald is doing a job so far today

 

[Browny]

The ranga was tight and made them play a lot of balls

 

[Hamm.0]

Is he the reddest (is that a word) bowler since McDermott?

 

[Browny]

Mate im a ranga and my wife even said he's pretty darn red haha

 

[Bucking Beads]

Sport needs more rangas... It would be good if Mcdermotts son comes through and becomes a quality bowler we need some fire in the attack..

 

[Hamm.0]

Nobody copuld fire up like McDrmott! He shat all over Merv. I heard on the Cricket Show about McDermott's kid, he's meant to be pretty handy.

 

[Jeza23]

Australia will struggle to take the final 8 poles needed to win. I can only see a draw or South African win (unfortunately) from here, which would mean we lose the no.1 ranking for the first time in a decade or so.

 

[Bucking Beads]

so negative!!!!
